I'm working on a monitor plugin upgrade and I want to allow admins to edit (silently) or delete any comment. Basicaly, it is a complete list of all the comment.

I delete comments with:
Text Formatted Code

$sql = "DELETE FROM {$_TABLES['comments']} "
                 . "WHERE cid = '{$cid}'";
DB_query ($sql);
 


but I wonder if there is a best way, a cleanest way, an api... to take care of sub-comment, comment feed, etc... ?

Please don't delete comments directly. The comments are kept in a tree structure for faster access and that tree needs to be re-balanced when a comment is removed.

Use CMT_deleteComment() from system/lib-comment.php

Dirk, thank you for reminding me the lib-comment.php file Smile
Everything I need is within.
